IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-RANGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 154,206, dated August 18, 1874 application filed May 9, 1874.

ed with reference to building into a fire-place.-

Partitions D divide the oven and the warmingchamber each into two chambers, while E are doors at the front. H are flues at the outer ends of the oven, between which and flueI are dampers F F, while between flue J and the flue I that separates oven B and warmer (J is the damper G. p

By this construction the products of combustion may be made to pass over as well as under the oven, and then into exit-flue J, or, by closing the damper G and opening the dampers F F, they may be made to pass around the ends through flues H H, thence over the top of oven, and into exit-flue J. Thus the heat may be distributed wherever wanted about the oven, and very quickly.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is-- The described combination, with fire-pot A, oven B, warmer O, escape-flue J, and flues leading over and under the oven, of the side flues H H and dampers F F G, as and for the purpose specified.
